not working for me, sg2 here

dont want to install :/
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Because it's not made to install. If you have rooted phone just copy over existing one. First stop maps and clear data in app manager.
[Android Apps and Games] ATN24:
this is what i've done:

delete old one with tb

copy to system/app, set permissions and install
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
You don't need to install. As I said, just copy ;)

I didn't even reboot...
[Android Apps and Games] ATN24:
but its not showing anywhere, not even in the app manager :(

or should I reinstall official 6.3.0 from the market first and copy, set permissions and voila?

EDIT: it worked, installed official first, rename and copy to system/app, done

Tks
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Step by step what I did:

1. Open application manager

2. Find Maps

3. Force stop

4. Clear data

5. Open ES File explorer

6. In settings check Root explorer and Mount file system

7. Rename maps6.3.0-ownhere.apk to Maps.apk (you have it on sd card already?)

8. Copy /system/app/Maps.apk somewhere on sd card as backup

9. You may delete /system/app/Maps.apk or just overwrite with new one

10. Set permision but actually I forgot :)

That's all in my case every time for ownhere mode :)
[Android Apps and Games] ATN24:
I have edited my message but tks tho.

The problem was that I have deleted the original file so I re-installed it from the market, copy the rename mod Maps, set permissions and voila :)
[Android Apps and Games] azrash:
Just a tip guys, if you can uninstall the original maps or any version of google maps that you have, and install the ownhere signed version, the next time you need to update the app, just look for the same version, which is ownhere signed version as well. if you are using szih's try to use the same signed version as well.

I have been doing this for over a year now, and I have not had to copy the maps manually using root explorer etc.Hope this'll help
[Android Apps and Games] azrash:
Uninstall any version of Google Maps that you have right now, and try installing the signed version again. The next time there is an update available, make sure to install the same version. Which is in this case is ownhere signed version

Probably offtopic question, but how long does it take to get a GPS fix in your Google Maps without internet connection?
[Android Apps and Games] azrash:
around 10s, with internet I can get it at around 3-6.

If you are rooted, use fasterfix from the market and change the gps pool server to the one nearest to you. I got mine changed to my country so it locks much2 faster as compared to before
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Really depends of the hardware, clear sky, solar flares... then a-gps data.

Brut maps & DarkyROM v10.4.2

I installed DarkyROM v10.4.2 [XWJW1] on my I-9000 today, and post that i am unable to install the brut maps. I was trying with the file maps6.3.0-ownhere-signed.apk.

I wiped the data, uninstalled the existing maps using Titanium, and tried instaling, but it fails. Even i tried installing maps from the market, uninstalling and then trying the brut maps.

Anyone faced this issue ? Badly need a solution, as i depend a lot on navigation.

One thing i noticed is that i cant locate the packages.xml on my phone. The is no such file in /data/system.

The packages.xml was under /dbdata/system/ .

So i uninstalled stock maps using TB , backed up the packages.xml file. Then used adb to retrieve the packages.xml file, opened in Notepad ++ , removed all references of com.google.android.apps.maps , pushed the file back, did a reboot.

After the phone rebooted, installed maps6.3.0-ownhere-signed.apk . Works like a charm now :-) Thanks Jayman and others for the support.

I guess the culprit was the location of the packages.xml , which actually resided in /dbdata/system/.

Does anyone have problem with precached maps? For example, I precached my city and after few hours or next day some part of the map is blurred. Sometimes killing Maps helps but sometimes I must turn on mobile data. It's big problem in roaming.

Hi all,

First and foremost, thanks to everyone involved in this project. Really great work that you are doing here!

Unfortunately, the changepn app doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason. I am on an unrooted Galaxy Nexus running stock rom ICS 4.0.2. Everytime I attempt to navigate to a destination, Maps force closes or crashes on me. It gives the message of "Unfortunately Maps has stopped".

I have no idea whether it is related to the TTS engine or not, but I only have the single option of the Google TTS Engine. Noothers to choose from.

Any idea on what is happening? Your kind help would be very much appreciated as I really do need the Navigation function. Thanking all of you I advance!

UPDATE:

Hhhmmmm... this is interesting... I had initially installed version 6.3.0 of ownhere's changepn apk posted by stian230 right on the very first page. As I mentioned above, it crashed on me when I started navigating to a destination and gave me the error message: "Unfortunately, Maps has stopped."

Then I tried version 6.2.0 of ownhere's changepn apk posted by ka2uki here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22343036&postcount=2106. Same problem happened with the same error message.

Was feeling a little desperate at this point. Then I found this "Maps_mod_6.2.0_non_root.apk" posted by miloytyn here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22055585&postcount=2046. And it worked!! Thank you so much miloytyn!!!

But I am still wondering, though: why did this particular version worked for me when the others didn't? What could be the thing(s) that was/were done differently? What is the difference between miloytyn's version and ownhere's version? Or is there something in particular about my phone, perhaps?

Caching in this version of Brut Google Maps is similar to that of usual google maps where you can cache only street maps and not terrain, satellite, etc.

To my knowledge, caching satellite and terrain maps is possible only in Brut Google Maps 4.6 and this is actually a wonderful feature because I often need these types of maps when going for hiking.

Is there any way to enable caching terrain/satellite maps in Onwhere/Brut GM 6.x?
[Android Apps and Games] shadowchaos:
yes,

I have the same problem both in ownhere gm 6.2 &6.3

It happens when you browse maps ,like level 15 in global,and specific cities in level 18,

then the nearby cities places where cached in level 15 some part will be removed.

This is often happens more when cache size more than 50MB,and 100% when cache up to 80MB,

this is a little noisy~~

you want to cache a full view of large round or global with some specific cities,

you need to play with the map...hoping

come on ,get it all

Until I use 5.11 I don't have cache problem anymore. It is more smooth and still can precache area :)

Svox works well but you have to pay for that one....its only 1-2 pounds though and works for all tts apps on your device. If paying for apps on the market is you're problem due to your location then download "market unlocker" which really works (I'm in China so have used it extensively).

Street View issue

Google Maps + Navigation works on my P1000L, i used the 3rd method (root explorer).

But i can't get running Google Street View, in first place i can't see on Market: Google Earth, Street View, Maps, etc.

So i installed Google Street View from other websites, i tried with v1.7.1.0 and v1.6.0.6. but i can't see it in google maps, neither Apps menu. I can see it just when im in the uninstall panel.

When i install it appears like a succesful installation but the RUN button stays gray.

Any idea how can i get Street View running properly?
